What does it mean to be a Reconciling Congregation?

Reconciling Ministries Network

Fairmont is a place where y’all means all.

That’s why in 2016 we affiliated with the Reconciling Ministries Network, a national organization of United Methodist Churches that strive to welcome all – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, immigration status, socioeconomic status, education level, or marital or family status - into the life and leadership of our church.

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in the Body of Christ equally shared and shepherded by all.

Along with Fairmont being an affirming church and having LGBTQ members and friends for decades, we also show our support for this community by regularly having a booth at the Out! Raleigh Pride Festival every summer. We have also recently begun a partnership with the Triangle Pride Band.

We believe that God loves everyone and that we are called to love and affirm all of our neighbors as the beloved children of God that they are.
